On June 23rd, 2020 during a tumultuous year, one icon took to Instagram to send a message of hope to those residing within the LGBTQ Community. While the post has since been deleted from instagram, it still lives in the deepest caverns of the internet (Facebook Watch)
For the past 3 years Artist Laura Collins (Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi, Real Housewives Pointing Fingers, Anna Wintour Double Crossing Her Legs, Britney’s Instagram is Art, The Mary-Kate and Ash-Tray) has painstakingly recreated the video across 524 signed and numbered 6 x 9 inch drawings culminating in a 21 second short animated film.
“I love you so much it hurts”
Scroll for Britney…
…these are just some of them.
Artist Statement: This Britney Spears animation is made up of 524 handmade drawings using the technique of rotoscoping. Each cell is traced in colored pencil, digitally scanned, and played back in the same order, creating an animated version of the original video. Filmed against a screen in her home, and posted to Instagram in June of 2020, the video offers an intimate glimpse into Spears’ personal life during the pandemic. She wishes her fans a happy Pride Month, and thanks the LGBTQ community for all their support over the years. The animated version is a meditation and commemoration of Spears’s appreciation for her LGBTQ fans. The animation is an official selection for Feminist Border Arts Film Festival.
